After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Went To the Countryside and Was Pinched By a Rough Man and Pa

Chapter 78 A life of eating meat

“Director, do we have any defective cloth?”

 Xia Zhi decided that since he had already fallen out of favor, he might as well just let it go.

 Making these cottons, whether making quilts or cotton-padded clothes, requires cloth.

 She can't put cotton on her body.

"Comrade Xiaoxia, you are really good at living. No, I have already married a daughter-in-law, and I think you are the best candidate for a daughter-in-law."

These words suddenly made Xia Zhi blush.

 After all, Director Wang is only in his twenties.

“Director Wang, look at what you said, my sister-in-law is definitely much better than me and can live a better life than me.”

“Okay, don’t say anything. There is still a batch of defective cloths in the warehouse. Those cloths are wet with water. The color has faded and it’s ugly. Don’t think it’s cheaper not to dispose of them.

 There are several horses, you go and choose one. "

Director Wang waved his hand to the warehouse for storage. He immediately understood and put out all the defective cloths.

  In fact, it is said to be a defective product, that is, part of it has been affected by moisture and water, and another part has silk on it or the pattern is asymmetrical.

Xia Zhi and Liu Zhiyan were excitedly choosing from these pieces of cloth. Girls would be especially fond of these things at any time.

 Especially these days, there are relatively few ready-made garments, especially supply and marketing cooperatives like theirs.

 Most people make their own clothes, and every girl can basically do two tricks.

 A woman who cannot make clothes is not a good woman in this era.

 Measures of later generations are of little use here.

The two of them picked and picked a lot.

Anyway, the director said, these departments don’t need cloth tickets, they only need to spend money to buy cloth, and the price is half cheaper than ordinary cloth.

  It’s like a big pie falling from the sky.

Especially these fabrics, the fabric is very strong, although it is a little faded in some places and has flaws in other places.

 But if you adjust the position, there should be no problem.

Xia Zhi decided to make a quilt and two mattresses. Although there was straw and mats under the earth platform where they slept, the mattress was a bit thin.

 The two mattresses are thicker and more comfortable.

 A quilt would be dry enough if six pounds of cotton were used to make it. She planned to make a larger quilt, like the double quilts of later generations.

　 Today’s quilts are narrow and small, and the back is often exposed when turned over.

 After a night’s sleep, my back was awakened by the cold.

 I am going to make another pair of cotton clothes and trousers. It is not like down jackets or cotton coats in later generations.

Even if there are down jackets and cotton coats, they are only available in big cities. In small places like them, don’t even think about them.

 Outside of factories, cotton coats are basically non-existent for ordinary people. They are all cotton-padded jackets with a blouse on top.

Although cotton trousers are bulky, they are resistant to freezing these days.

 The cotton coat and trousers worn by Xia Zhi were as thin as paper because they had been worn for many years.

　　When I first came out, I was wrapped in a baggage. Others didn’t realize that it was a cotton coat and trousers.

 At the summer solstice, my heart feels warm, so I can make a cotton coat and then two pairs of cotton trousers.

 Cotton hats and cotton gloves are a must.

 I didn’t see it, my ears were a bit frostbitten from clearing snow for the past two days.

 Thinking about how Zhou Zhengan helped me so much, including giving him quilts and picking up his rations on the road. No matter from which aspect, I owed Zhou Zhengan a huge favor.

　　When choosing fabrics during the summer solstice, I specially selected a suit of fabric for Zhou Zhengan.

Zhou Zhengan has his work uniform on weekdays, so he definitely doesn’t need other clothes, but if he occasionally has a change of casual clothes, it shouldn’t be a problem. This kind of gray fabric suits Zhou Zhengan. If it is made into a Chinese tunic suit, Zhou Zhengan will definitely look ascetic and cool when wearing it.

 Actually, Zhou Zhengan is a really good-looking person. I haven’t noticed that when I go to the brigade headquarters on weekdays, I always see health workers and broadcasters running towards Zhou Zhengan’s brigade headquarters.

 Just keep a straight face, otherwise you should be more popular.

Later, the two of them discussed and bought all the cloth.

 It’s not very expensive anyway. I think everyone will share it when we go back. In fact, everyone will get not much.

They both looked jealous. Don't talk about other people. Those female educated youths saw it. Don't they want to make clothes?

This time they earned their own money.

Without any time to discuss, they directly loaded all the fabrics, waste cotton and their next batch of materials into the car.

Zhou Zhengan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that these two female educated youths had added so many things in a short time. This is what these women are like.

It seems that my mother is like this when she goes out. As soon as she arrives at the supply and marketing cooperative, she packs big and small bags to buy a lot of things.

 It seems that women are all similar.

 Going back very quickly.

 When they became educated youths, all the educated youths came out to help distribute the materials back to their respective huts.

He also helped Xia Zhi and the others move the two sacks of waste cotton and cloth into the nest.

Zhou Zhengan helped Xia Zhi carry his basket and other things into the den.

 When he was about to leave, Xia Zhi whispered to Zhou Zhengan.

 “Don’t forget to come over for dinner tonight. Let’s make a leek box tonight.”

 “How about making dumplings to eat?”

Zhou Zhengan thrust a bag into Xia Zhi's hand.

“There are five kilograms of pork in this.”

 “When did you get the pork?”

Xia Zhi’s voice was lowered, her face was filled with surprise and joy, and her eyes were as round as a kitten’s.

 Zhou Zhengan’s eyebrows are curved.

“I told Lao Wang last time and asked him to find a way to get rid of it for me. This time he got it. It’s not easy to get rid of. After all, most of the people in our reclamation area eat beef and mutton.

I can only secretly leave it for you in the cafeteria. There is nothing I can do. It will probably make everyone unhappy. "

“By the way, Lao Wang can get me a big piece of beef in two days.

 It is estimated to be more than ten kilograms. Let’s come back and make beef stew then. "

 Zhou Zhengan has never eaten beef seriously.

“The Chinese New Year is in one month. When the beef comes back, half of it will be stewed into beef, and the other half can be stewed into beef cubes.

 Beef noodles are also good, and beef stew with potatoes is also delicious. "

 Xia Zhi also drooled a little when he heard this.

“By the way, you saw that big fish, come over to eat it tomorrow, and call Vice Captain Jiang to come too, otherwise you’ll say I’m partial every time you see me.

 Feeling that I favor one over the other.

  I will cook boiled fish for you tomorrow. It will definitely taste the way you like. "

Zhou Zhengan's face turned cold when he heard that Jiang Yifan actually made this request.

　　"Leave him alone. I'm leaving first. I'll come over and eat dumplings later."

Zhou Zhengan had a straight face as before and led the people away in a serious manner.
